Matrix #: SD 19202

Condition: VG some light crackle

Description:
Released in 1978 on Atlantic Records, Tormato captured Yes at the tail end of their classic ’70s run, just before lineup changes reshaped the band. Recorded in London, the album featured the familiar core of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, and Rick Wakeman, but critics and fans noted growing tensions and uneven production. Its odd title and tomato-splattered cover became infamous, reflecting both the group’s theatrical flair and the era’s prog excess. Arriving during the rise of punk and disco, the record represents the moment when progressive rock’s dominance was beginning to wane, even as Yes remained a powerful live act worldwide.
